Hacking the Human Is the Next Cyber Threat

Gregory Carpenter will share his wisdom gained in NSA and many years in industry to explain how security flaws in medical nanotechnologies could be deadly.

The next generation of cyber warfare is here, and no one in our industry is ready for it. Networks have emerged from all manner of Internet of Things (IOT) devices creating previously unimaginable scenarios. Nanorobotic devices, which are flooding our public health and medical fields at alarming speeds are a generally insecure IOT access points. These minute devices (10-9) are in use for everything from medical procedures to implants in your favorite blue jeans.
We demonstrate through aerosol disbursement that by embedding these tiny computers inside any number of the molecular communications systems in the human body (i.e. endocrine or nerve) they can pass unobserved or detected into a secure or restricted area and only await initiation from a simple natural and normal communication activity to trigger them and allow their code to execute bringing health and healing or destruction and catastrophe. Data stored within synthetic DNA, in actual DNA or inside a nanocarrier can activate and move through these ad hoc in vivo bio-networks undetected to a release point where their code can be activated. This innovative approach is something, which can be accomplished by targeting one individual or scaled to a crowd. This presentation addresses the non-traditional network attack which we have demonstrated inside a human body by using the insecure nanocarrier as a delivery mechanism for our malware.
